FAQs
This motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IMB5 IM3001 mounting. Installation should follow hazardous-area guidelines, ensure proper termination box access from the top, use star (Y) connection for 400 V supply, and verify mounting on a robust base to handle vibration and weight (net 226 kg).
At 50 Hz, the unit is rated for 400 V input with a 15 kW output across a 3-phase supply. It uses a Y configuration, operates at 2 poles, and achieves IE3 efficiency. The insulation class is ICFL, and the duty is S1, suitable for continuous operation in controlled environments.
Yes. The motor carries Exdbeb explosion protection and is rated for gas group IIB, making it appropriate for petrochemical and refinery applications where hazardous atmospheres are present.
Key certifications include IEC 60034-1 for electrical performance, IP55 enclosure rating, IC411 insulation class, Exdbeb flameproof protection, and classification for gas group IIB. It is designed for use in hazardous zones with robust reliability and regulatory compliance.
With a cast-iron frame, 6309/C3 bearings, and IMB5 IM3001 mounting, expect durable operation and longer intervals between servicing. Regular bearing checks, alignment, and enclosure cleanliness support sustained performance in demanding environments; expect a heavy, stable unit suitable for long service life in industrial plants.
